Fete des LACO


Very pleasant afternoon in good company at the *Fete des LACO in Le Grand-Pressigny. The photo above shows the local chorale giving us a song in Japanese...you have to love rural France! The event is held to celebrate Saint Blaise the patron saint of farmers.

*L'association laboureurs, artisans, commercants  & ouvriers.

'Blaising' a trail in Barrou...


Delighted to be part of yesterday's Saint Blaise celebration here in Barrou.


As vice-president the day was not too difficult even with my lack of French...Guy the President had more to do and helped me through the day along with Pauline. Roll on next year.


It was the usual good day of  eating,drinking and singing in good company...those bits were easy.Pauline gave a short speech to the hall and did very well...a lot more French required by me for next year!
